MC spoke to Karnythia, the author of Hood Feminism, on how the mainstream feminist movement has largely ignored women of color and more.
was killed [in 2012], that maybe Black women are in danger from police. I've seen some now with Breonna Taylor go,and his victims, and we've had that conversation with Rekia Boyd.
People are starting to realize that those women aren't safe. You can find any number of mainstream feminists who will be happy to tell you about the work they've done in the Congo or in India. Then when you start asking them about educational access in America, or about gun violence that particularly targets girls who are often of the same racial background as the ones that they feel like they can go save, [feminists] don't seem to recognize that [those American girls are] people.
MC: As people start to acknowledge and understand their implicit bias and try to become better anti-racists, better allies, how do we separate that from the problematic white savior narrative?I do think some people are trying to be better. They want to be better. They want to be helpful. They want to be in solidarity. But then there's also this: [Feminists] don't want to be infantilizing.
I don't think it's just ignorance. I think some people are ignorant. I think some aspects of this are definitely"the bubble." I know people like to say a liberal bubble, but really, the bubbles are not in the big city. The bubbles are in your small town Americana. And they're there because your parents or grandparents moved you to a sundown town or built a sundown town. They deliberately voted to avoid integration.
